We are looking for an Aerodynamics Engineer to join our growing flight physics team. You will contribute to the aerodynamic design of our hybrid-electric eVTOL aircraft - including the wing, high-lift devices, fuselage, lifting arms and landing gear - with a strong focus on propeller aerodynamic and aeroacoustic design, optimization, and propeller-airframe interaction effects.

Working close to the hardware is part of the job: you run CFD studies in Ansys Fluent for design and validation, and plan wind tunnel campaigns spanning scaled aircraft models for fixed-wing aerodynamics to a small-scale propeller rig for interaction effects, while supporting our full-scale propeller test stand from an aerodynamics perspective.

• Contribute to the aerodynamic design of the wing, high-lift devices, fuselage, lifting arms and landing gear of our eVTOL aircraft.
• Design and optimize propeller aerodynamics and aeroacoustics.
• Analyze propeller-airframe interaction effects.
• Perform design analysis with our in-house low-fidelity tools.
• Run CFD simulations in Ansys Fluent to support design and validation.
• Build and maintain CAD models of aerodynamic surfaces in Siemens NX.
• Plan and conduct wind tunnel campaigns, from scaled aircraft models for fixed-wing aerodynamics to a small-scale propeller rig for interaction effects.
• Support the full-scale propeller test stand from an aerodynamics perspective, for propeller optimization and validation.

• Hold an academic degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a comparable technical course of study.
• Hold foundational knowledge of aircraft and propeller aerodynamics.
• Have hands-on experience with CFD, ideally Ansys Fluent.
• Have strong Python programming skills.
• Have a high level of target-oriented self-management with the ability to work in a team as well as autonomously.
• Have excellent problem solving, communication and technical writing skills.
• Have fluent English language skills.
